Daily Inspiration: Sowing Seeds of Kindness

This feature is coordinated by The Post-Standard and InterFaith Works of CNY.

Rev. Colette Matthews-Carter

A famous quote, often attributed to Plato, says, "Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle." As we move about interacting with people from all walks of life, we never know what a person is dealing with or going through. How powerful it is to receive mercy and then be able to show mercy and let it flow to others. We need to give ourselves and the people around us, a break. Nobody's perfect and we've all made mistakes. Let kindness be the seed that you sow and in return it will be the harvest that you reap.
